attack of impulse

[migrated from livejournal]


when i heard that sir mike abundo, instructor for ece 121, had left some sample problems for the exam tomorrow at the lobby guard, irc and deee 201, i looked for ways in order for me to secure a copy of it.

you see...

today was a very hot day. and for some weird reason...to which i point to the weather, i had spurs of headache...that's why i decided to leave school early. went straight to sm to get some cool as well as to canvass for some very important parts for our ece 121 project. alas. ece 121 project diverted my attention to the matter that needed the most attention. i got distracted further when i had to accompany my mom shopping through last minute stuff for my brother and sister.

and so and so and so. much to my disappointment, pizza hut over at sm north, the one closer to the exit to the block had a very slow service. adding insult to that would be the bolognese that we ordered. it just wasnt as delicious as it should have been. not quite the ones we were able to taste at pizza hut bistro over at gateway...and over there as well. so, the taste for that restaurant was inconsistent. oh well, i liked their combo platter though. the chickens were numnum.

anyway, back to what i was saying...so you see, i asked my irc friend and another irc friend...but they had no resource to send it to me...so....upon that moment, i decided to head straight to EEE to secure myself a copy of that sample problem...haay...and while traveling, i recalled...this sort of happened back when i was taking eee 35. i rushed to eee in order to see whether i was exempted or not. hahaha. that was almost like 10pm...and i was still living at mandaluyong back then.

anyway. as i take this study break in order to bring my laptop downstairs to study, i realize something.

"There are just some assholes in this world that are hard to get rid off."
"Practically, everyone could, has, and may have been an asshole."

haha. joke lang that's not really what i realized. that's like given.

what i realize was this. (well, this will be for the issue i read over at the oblation)

"Sa UP, ang dami daming mga estudyante ang rally ng rally. Nakakainis isipin na karamihan sa kanila, ginagamit yung "common cause" para mapagtanggol ang sarili nilang mga kapakanan. Parang ganito yun, may mga nagrally sasabihin nahihirapan na ang mga estudyante sa pagtaas ng tuition etc etc. pero kung tutuusin, wala naman siyang karapatan magreklamo dahil may pera naman pamilya niya in the first place. naku. nakakainis hahaha. karamihan ata ng mga politiko ngayon at mga nagdaan eh ganito yung estado. name drops: atom, chris lao, etc etc. hahaha. pero siyempre opinyon ko lang to. ewan ko ba. nabasa ko kasi yung issue tungkol dun sa proposed increase in tuition. well, sa akin naman, kulang nga yung mga nag sumite nung papeles para sa pagtaas ng tuition ng batayan kung bakit nga ba kelangan ipataw sa mga estudyante ang gastos...pero naisip ko rin naman, paano na yung mga guro...unti unti ng nadedegrade yung dekalidad ng edukasyon sa UP. At. bakit pa ba tayo dapat manawagan ng manawagan sa gobyerno na taasan yung budget. eh kung ayaw nila bumigay sa gusto natin, eh di gawan natin ng ibang paraan. matatalino naman tayong mga taga UP. eh di gawan ng paraan. ipamukha natin sa gobyerno na kaya natin. eh kasi sa kakarali natin, pinapakita natin sa kanila na dependent tayo sa kanilang pamumuno. eh kung ganun lang, eh di lalo lang silang magmamatigas at papairalin ang sa tingin nilang nararapat."

hahaha. im babbling too much.
"at isa ko pang naisip, karamihan sa mga nagrarally, eh may kanya kanyang selfish intent sa pag sama sa rally. hahaha. for sure. yung iba run ginagamit lang yun para mapakita sa iba na active sila...para sa susunod na eleksyon...alam niyo na...haay...sa mundong to, di na siguro matatapos ang gamitan. kahit kailan! yung iba naman...for sure pang resume lang yung position. basta ewan ko ba. i just dont see any sense in most of the anything that those rallyist do. inisip ko nga, sali kaya ako USC volcorps...then inisip ko, nyek wag nalang. makasama ko pa yung mga rallyista at maimpluwensiya pa akong sumama. siguro may pinagmanahan ako ng ganitong paguugali. pero who cares where i inherited it from. basta ang alam ko, nasa loob parin ako ng isa sa mga pinakamahirap na departamento ng UP...and EEE....so, sa tingin ko naman, tama pa ang buhay ko...hahaha...di ako sumali sa mga rally, so di ako natanggal sa department. well, of course, this is just one of the many perspectives you can look through. im not saying that they are directly related...because, quite frankly, i dont think so myself. hahaha. so ayun....i dont really join rallies as well because most of the rallies held, i dont share the sentiment naman so bakit pa ako sasali. i know which battles to fight. i know which of the important things i have are worth fighting for."

there...rant finish.

ps: i will never resort to using diet pills. iniisip ko kasi ang main reason why...ayaw ko ngang mabobo. siyempre kung gagamit ako ng appetite suppresant, di ako magugutom, so san kukuha ng nutrients ang aking brain diba? hahaha. siguro kaya ka.....ahahhahaha! im just mean.

pps: ang weird talaga how rumors get about. imagine...i never expected to receive information on a certain someone in so much detail. imagine...pati sound effects sa loob ng kwarto nakwento sa akin hahaha. ....uhh...hahahaha.

ppps: onti nalang...

First and foremost:
With regards to what our dear justice secretary has said about UP...I take no offense whatsoever. Actually, I totally feel adamant about it. If he may have over generalized the UP community, then whatever. But, let us not be blinded by our pride for being accepted here in the university. Let's not deny that there are some truths to what he said....though he may have exaggerated a tad bit.
I like him for his honesty and frankness and total impulsiveness. I mean, come on! hahaha! I don't think he even gives second thoughts to whatever comes out of his mouth.(Hahaha, parang ako! Kaya, I admit, I have no right to tell him evs.)

New word. Evs. I heard it from Rockstar Supernova. It's the aussie expression for whatever. hehehe. Which reminds me, I havent written down here how I love watching Rockstar Supernova. Astig talaga!

Anyway, right now, I can't seem to have days of worrying about nothing. It's like puro exams nalang and requirements the past weeks etc etc. So...to straighten out the first sentence of this paragraph, there never seems to be a fleeting moment of ignorant bliss...the moment I actually try to relax and think of nothing, there's just always something to think about.

1) I think I am starting to develop mild scoliosis. My right shoulder is a bit elevated compared to the left one. But the weird thing is, I feel na mas mataas ung sa left. Anyway, I already brought this up to my mom and I shall be consulting a chiro sometime soon....maybe im  just sressed.

2) I seriously got turned off with how fitness first recruit members. I mean, come on?! They were so forward that I got turned off. My God, they even dared threaten us that if we dont avail of it that moment, they will ask us to pay a fee that's about 5 times more expensive (which is the standard price). FYI. We have the money...but sadly, you've pushed us to the point to reconsider the circumstance. well, that's my part. 

3) Went to divisoria once again! hehehe. ang saya. yun lang. pero parang mas tumaas ang taste ko ng konti. umonti yung stores na may nagustuhan akong gamit.

4) Food trip update! hehehe. alam ko na kung bakit ako kelangan mag gym! Hehehe. grabe! last saturday...niyaya ko sila mag sort of merienda (kasi mga 3 na yun) pero in fact lunch...punta kami sa avenetto sa visayas...hehehe grabe ang lalaki ng orders nila. sobrang affordable. better price to serving ratios compared to other italian pizzeria evs.  then nung sunday natin nag buffet pa kami hehehe! kaya tuloy bundat na bundat tiyan ko kanina!

5) Seriously, akala ko long weekend!!!! shet! nakakainis. nawalan ako ng mood pag kagising ko nung monday. (ay kahapon na pala siya base sa time ko)

6) Acad updates. naku! Di yata balance ang sem ko ngayon. huhuhuhu...I excel at some subjects a lot pero sa iba...norm lang yung progress...haay...gusto ko maging CS standing!!! Well, kaya pa...sana sana sana sana sana lang talaga....maka 1.25 or 1.00 man lang ako sa eee 107. dream ko na yun. please please please please Lord tulungan niyo ko...tapos sa ece 121 di ko pa mapredict ang maging outcome. handicapped kasi labas ko run eh...wala pa akong prior exposure to op-amps hehehe...madali lang naman pero kulang pa sa confidence kasi yung norm sa 121 lahat tapos na mag 51. haay... I so have to get over that intimidation...

7) Bakasyon bakasyon! hehehe ang sarap na iplano. haay...

8) I will really pursue siguro yung pag tutor next year. Yey! Money! hehehe...if not siguro mag hanap na ako ng internship or something. bahala na basta may pera! heheh pero siyempre di naman ako mag work sa fast food chains. tatawanan lang ako ng kuya ko hehehe. not that it makes someone less of a someone if they work at fast food chains pero siguro sabihin nalang natin na most likely pati mom and dad ko sabihin...im worth more. =p tsk tsk. talagang spoiled nga siguro ako. hahaha.

9) waah! naiinis na ako bigla sa likod ko hahaha. pag pumapasok sa isip ko parang gusto ko pantayin hehehe. as if i could. eh in the first place kung di ko nga siya napapansin eh medyo di siya pantay! so anong reference ko ehhehehe.

10) nakakatuwa talaga aso namin! hehehe Gringo na ang bagong baby sa bahay namin. hahaha. I so love that dog. pinapatulog ko nga sa kama ko habang may ginagawa ako sa study area like surf the net, study, evs.

11) ayun lang hahaha. ang saya talaga pag mabilis kang mag type. ang saya talaga pag walang problema. ang saya talaga. ayun lang. masaya. new friends, new people, new life. hahahah. that didnt make sense at all! well, for me it didnt.

--goodnight!

In the zone

[migrated from livejournal]


In just a few more hours, ill be taking my eee43 exam. hahaha. i just started studying at about 2 am or something. Not that I didnt study days before, I did my problem set all by myself mind you.

Anyway, I just realized while studying...ahahha...

"I am getting the wrong fan fare!"

hmm...I wonder what I can do to turn that "tide" around.

anyway. I am just so happy today, while I absorb more from eee 43. You see, I managed to answer my eee 41 problem set..mostly all by myself. =) Thank you noel for the help in understanding number 2 and for pointing out my mistake for number 1. 

anyway. I am happy with that result because I only started doing the other problems 12nn yesterday. the day before the submission and I managed to finish it...(except the last question regarding the value of the capacitor for number 10 - that and that alone) hahaha.

sorry. I didnt mean to bloat or anything. I am just sort of hype hahaha. Sugar rush? whatever.

anyway. I really really really do hope that everything turns out well for my exam later as well as for my exam this coming saturday and also for our marketing congress endeavor etc etc. haay...I will really pursue my mom on my proposition to hire a manghihilot this coming weekend. man oh man! are my shoulders stiff! Bummer is the stress that eee is.

hmm...current debate: to sleep or not to sleep. that is the question!

not to sleep. I think that if I do sleep, I'd just be getting a headache or something. It's like this, when you find a beggar, you offer him/her food then at the instant he/she takes a bite off what you offer, you take back what you gave. so parang nambitin ka. hahaha. Analogy correct?

so...I guess, I'll just be heading to the main library after my exam to get that much needed znoose. hahaha.well,  i do have eee 44 class at 1. I guess, that's a plan well laid out.

Haay...

Oh yeah! I must not forget about this.
Here's my wishlist. hahaha (eto ang hihingin ko kung kanino man sa mga kapamilya ko kapag ako'y naging College Scholar this sem)
1) A digital camera that should at least be 5 Megapixels!
2) A body bag. that's branded. ayaw ko ng hawk please.
3) A sports bag, the shoulder bag whatever basta. it's for overnighters kind of bag.

hmm...I think that was all the materials I sought for the other day. Siguro tama na muna yan. DI naman ako sobrang materialistic  eh. hahaha.

Sige, study break over! Aral aral na ulit!!!!

- MUST CONQUER EEE 43-

Saturday, August 19, 2006

I love the limelight

[migrated from livejournal]


Hahaha!
Para maiba naman, mag susubok akong magcono conohan hahaha.

So here's how it goes:
    Yesterday, friday was a cool day. I attended the marketing congress meeting, I went to the Acoustic Jammengg, and though Circuit didnt win, the performance was damn cool! sayang nga lang talaga there were other bands that presented better pieces...=) Anyway, I dont seem to quite remember anything else happening yesterday for some reason...which could be attributed to today's experience.

    Today, I woke up at around 12 am! Can you believe that! Oh that's probably because I slept at about 4am trying to reroute the miniboard that I have been working on...Grabe, so casual nalang stuff goes...I havent even started on studying for my eee 43 exam! hmm...well, ganun naman talaga ako...things just start to come into place when you least expect it to. Siguro kasi before, I just noticed this now, yeah, before, I lacked the confidence in my capability to actually do good in the things that I try, academically speaking of course. But then, ayun, im starting to gain my confidence back again, and I realize that becoming a College Scholar will be a challenge, but it will be a challenge that I could overcome. =) i.e I am hoping to get a grade of at least 1.75 for my eee107 class...that's the least, I at least hope to get 1.5 =) (knocks on wood para di mausog)

    So, ayun nalang muna ang mga academically speaking updates ko ehheeh.

For today: Some interesting stuff that's worth making kwento... hahaha so cono dating. Please take note though, speaking cono is not a trait. It's something that one can acquire if and only if one speaks or thinks in cono...which to tell you guys frankly, I am having a hard time doing right now because the thoughts that I think of come out in English hahahaha! Seee that sentence! It's in english and I was trying to like alam mo na make it seem like cono hahaha...there you go.

1) When I was on my way to quiapo, I was commuting you see, and my Mom happened to be going out as well...commuting din...so I asked her to accompany me to the place where I can ride a quiapo jeep...and I told her to go ahead, I can manage. And she responds, sige hintayin na kita, baka makidnap ka pa.
    ---hahaha! I can't belive my mom said that to me. And I was dumbfounded for a few seconds then retaliated, marami na ngang nagsasabi niyan. HAhaha. Hmm...baka nasa suot ko. I was wearing a polo shirt (one of my favorite ones) which was color white. and I was wearing orange board shorts and flipflops to go along with the shorts. NOpe! Don't you even think that it was out of style hahaha. Cos I bet you it wasnt. Ako pa! Di ako lalabas ng bahay knowing full well na I dont have the confidence to carry what I was wearing. hahaha. Kaya nga ang dami kong junk wears ngayon sa closet. Siguro nandun nalang sila in case i become fatter. hahaha.

2) Colorpoint encounters
    ---Colorpoint kasi is the studio where Rose et al was to have their grad pictures taken. Eto ang mga encounters:
          a) while watching the photoshoot of someone, as well as waiting for one of my friends' turn, the photographer/director said out a joke and I started laughing...then yung photographer on his way out, and while I was still smiling at the joke, commented that I have a great set of teeth. then he commented even further that...let me quote "Gusto ko tikman yang ngipin mo" and I was totally flustered! HAhaha. I dont even know how the other people that I didnt know react. I was so flustered I went out...and at the moment, I felt harassed...but it did help my self esteem a bit. (to be elaborated later)
          b) while I was there waiting outside the studio so sa may lobby banda na malapit sa make up room...sobrang bored na rin ako hehehe kaya tumatambay sa mga may mapapanood...ayun, may lumabas sa make up room...si Allan daw base sa kwento ni Rose and Kristine Perez. Siya raw nag make up kay Allan Ostrea...so ayun nga, while I was standing there, bigla siyang lumapit or rather papunta kasi siya sa lobby so nadaanan niya ako, sabi niya sa akin, "Alam mo, cute ka." hahaha. And I was flustered yet again! hahaha...and more self esteem ahhaha
          c) siyempre gusto ko lang i clarify na hindi na in chronological order ang kwento ko. Pero the situation of being flustered was not eased due to the fact that, marami sa studio and sa make up rooma ng laging nag stare or nag side glances sa akin. Which helped out my self esteem even more hahaha.
          d) another encounter with the person who was referred in (a), nag hintay kasi ako sa picturean room ulit, then kakatapos lang niya mag picture, then tumabi siya sa akin as in yung pag tabi na nagulat nalang ako na bakit ganyan siya tumabi as in yung feeling close na tabi na dikit (hmm...this event went before (a)) then kinausap niya ako like, ano ginagwa mo rito? sagot ko naman na hinintay po yung kabarkada ko matapos para sa barkada pic...(then I just remembered, this event occured after our first encounter na nageexcuse siya sa amin kasi papunta siyang make up room at sabi ni rose nag stare siya sa akin)

---from this point on, let me add the fact, na siya yung person mentioned in (a) and (b) was the owner of colorpoint. hahaha

          e) nung nagpa daring barakda pic na kami. hahaha, siyempre nagulat ako at biglang siya yung kumukuha ng picture...hahah magaling kasi siya magdirect ng picture picturean. kaya fave siya ng ibang mga kabarkada ko. actually sa totoo lang magaling talaga siya eh.kaya medyo nailang ako kasi topless ahahah. eh insecure pa naman ako sa mga taba taba ko....which are no longer as pronounced (hahaha talagang pronounced) pa yung term...as they were before so ayun, pagkatapos ng picture, may mga side comments side comments pa pero di ko na masyado maalala kasi nagbihis ako, then ang narinig ko nalang sinabi niya, di na natuloy french natin (and I was so flustered! hahaha. sobra kasi magjoke yun eh.) marami pa siyang mga jokes like para patapangin yung ibang mga pinipicturean para mas maganda yung pics pero they're too lewd and ratedR hahaha.
          f) paalis na kami, I was telling my friends that the picture picturean ng barkada was fun and we should like be doing it every year, pero narinig niya, padaan na pala siya when I said it and he commented like na kakampi raw kami and he said that pag nag COUNCIL (to be elaborated later) dapat daw irefer ko ColorPoint... then natapos na yung araw kung saan, paalis na kami, nasa labas siya, hininto niya ako then sabi sunod daw ako sa kanya and he gave us his Business Card. hahaha saya talaga ng experience na yun

Elaboration time:
COUNCIL - I realized that I no longer have the intention of going into Council for next year. I know, it's too early to say, and actually before, I said to myself, di na ako magchair ng circuit mag eee rep nalang ako...pero ngayon, AYAW ko na mag council pati mag chair. And iniisip kong gusto ko gawin for my last year, mag apply akong like internship and magtutor or something. basta para mas dumami pa ang pera na meron ako hahaha. ayun lang. I dont know to burden myself with extracurricular services...yun ang iniisip ko ngayon....kasi iniisip ko rin, di pa naman siguro ako magtrabaho after, I think my father wants me to take an MS or something. MBA sounds appealing...basta! bahala na. what I do after I graduate...I still have so much time to think about that.

SELF ESTEEM - kaya naman ako nafafluster dahil sa mga pangyayari ngayon at kaya nabooboost self esteem ko. kasi parati nalang when I am in the company of my brother and my sister, dahil sa gwapo sila at maganda, parang nawalan ako ng lugar sa pamilya hahaha. dati sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, ako naman pinaka marami achievements hahaha. TOSM, honor roll, etc etc. In short, excellency in terms of academics yung lamang ko sa kanila, so in short, ang gusto ko sabihin, mababa ang selfesteem ko image wise i mean physically. kaya hahaha. ayun lang. ngayong college ko lang narerealize pa ang "worth" ko. hmm...double meaning pala yun. hahah pwedeng literally speaking or not. and, sino ba naman ang di matutuwa or mafluster kapag sinasabihan sila ng complement.and kaya ako nafafluster dahil di ako sanay na sasabihan ng ganun. duh. mga lalaki yun.

hahaha. anyway, back to reality. ARAL mode na ulit.

-edit-
mukhang di ko nagawang cono. oh well. test ko lang naman sa sarili ko yun kung san ba talaga ako mas lumalagay hahaha. magaling talaga ako magenglish

One Good day

[migrated from livejournal]


The day started out nifty yet tolerable to some extent. I didnt know yet that it will be a great day.

-Went to 9:00am EEE 43 make up class. Incredibly, I sat intently for 2 hours and some more minutes and didnt even get bored!
-Went to IRC meeting, late, obviously, due to the EEE 43 make up class, but ended up learning that, I am one of the new SAs of IRC! Yes! hahaha, then it didnt really come as a shock to me to learn that I already have some other new stuff to do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah! Almost forgot to take note: (Tipz dont forget about this!)
1) Max size of board is 10x10cm.
2) Move pin outs a little farther from the microcontroller para mas madali
3) Study if the footprints or whatever you call it could be made better so that the components will be well stuffed.
4) Use the RX0 and TX0 for the microcontroller. UART0! UART1 is to be phased out! hahaha!

-hmm. i think that's most of it. (will be emailing this to gmail)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-After the IRC meeting, went to CS to eat. Man, that was expensive yet the quality was cheap. Talking about the CS Canteen service and food.
-Back to IRC to SERIOUSLY CRAM EEE107! I wasnt able to finish reading through the whole book! Still had 20pages to go so I just abandoned the book and referred to the slides.
----and fast forward to how things turned out: I think I did pretty well! Man oh man, IRC friends ahhaha! I love you guys! I super enjoyed the review session! I learned a lot! And, heck, most of the questions that came up in the exam, we were able to review. Wait, You can safely say that we were able to review more or less 60% of the exam coverage...=p Oh bliss.

Other things:
1=Enjoyed the marketing congress opening. The speakers were so good, I really really really did learn alot!
2=I just get this feeling that I became mature. Seriously, in so much aspect. I mean, when I hear some people talk about certain things or observe how people react or whatever, I sometimes say to myself, how immature. And I try to recall stuff and I end up thinking, been there done that. Shet! Sooner or later ako na ang pupulutan ng words of wisdom! Wowoweee. I am starting to love being 20 years old. And I thought during my birthday that it will just be like any other year or birthday or transition to whatever. But no, wisdom comes flowing in.
3=I love IRC, most especially the people I get to work with etc. Go team 98° Fahrenheit! hahahah.
4=I am so looking forward to when....=p Hahaha, it's too early to let you guys know. And it may affect the quality of the output you might expect.
5=Oh yeah, I have a bio1 exam tomorrow. I expect at least  a hundred slides to go through and so much more to memorize. I am only starting now...it's 11am. And the exam is scheduled at 830am!
6= I must sit in Sir Hizon's class on Friday for eee41. I did not attend my eee41 class to study for eee107...and I have no regrets because my decision paid off.

What else...there are some other things to say...but I seem to have forgotten them...Maybe they're not that important. =p

Good night! Hustle bustle.
Ps: oh yeah, what I wanted to say was, okay lang naman sa bio1. Mas madali na magmemorize compared sa mag analyze. And, if you are wondering why i am studying this late as in late, well it's because I got home around 8, ate dinner, relaxed, watched tv and now it's eleven...damn! I missed out on CSI! Well, replays are sure to come.

-edit
pps: I just realized that I may have seemed too irresponsible in this post. I mean, by no means did I want to cram all of those stuff in (talking about 107). It just so happens that my room has become like a total R&R space. Ever since the wireless internet availability came up, ive been spending so much more time using my laptop. I mean, come on! Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is just far too good not to watch. Oh, it's the latest animation that i have been watching, and man! Is it a laugh! The commentaries and the narration are some of the things that I like about the anime, plus, I dont know, it's just interesting. Oh anyway, getting back, yes, Haruhi Suzumiya was one of the things that occupied my time. And, to get to my point, if I do spend much of my time slacking here at home, I compensate for it by arriving home late since I catch up on my studies over at the main library. =p hahah defensive! And, I ended up cramming the 20 pages because I had hoped to finish reading it, but ako kasi, im the type of person that doesnt want to move on until it is totally over with. Parang sa pagbabasa ko sa 107, ang hirap kaya intindihin nung book! sobrang daming concepts etc etc. Parang puro letters nalang sa dami ng variables equations ang lumulutang sa ulo ko at one point, kaya ganun ako kabagal magbasa. ahahha, lucky me, most the computations etc etc came from the chapters that I understood after having fully read and put to heart the text/book. Pero, big factor talaga yung study group namin sa IRC. Go Virna! Kahit nakatulog ka past the halfway point you made it through! Hope you get better soon.

ppps: I think my english has become so much better. hahaha. You see, when I was reviewing (-was- since im blogging right now) for bio1, I speak out loud to try to remember the things that I need to remember, and I start to form my own explanations or certain processes and concepts and not realizing that I have been speaking straight english. ahahah. Highschool training was good. Sad though, I realized it too late. I wasnt able to fully thank the teachers responsible for my proficiency (proficient siyempre kasi relative to other people in UP...hehehe). Pero siyempre self gratification should be present here. I have read quite a lot of books you know. I think the book count would have hit 50 books. Books that I bought for myself or...asked my mom to buy for me...because I thought I would love reading them. 50 more or less...and this count does not include the textbooks that I felt back then was somewhat of a forced reading material hahaha.

pppps: ayan, gising na ako hhehehe. aral na ulit

Click-

[migrated from livejournal]

Man oh man, I loved that film - Click.

I was almost expecting it not to turn out "this" way but also half feeling for it to turn out the way i wasnt expecting it too. Man oh man. Thank you for whoever directed that film. For the first in quite a while, thank you for at first making me want for the film not to be that predictable but later wishing it to be the scene which i predicted. Seriously, thank you for not ending it the way i had first wished it to end.

Hahaha, nevermindmind. This may just be some weird babble to some of you there.

Anyway:
1) Kimono Ken - my mom ate at one of the first restaurants that opened in THE BLOCK. Kimono Ken. Well, there was Bacolod Chicken and Wham and Via Mare but we didnt eat there because for Via Mare, it was a long walk from where we were standing, and you can almost say the same for the other two hehehe. For my critique, I liked their Crispy something wonton and their kani salad as well. It was the first Kani Salad order that had mixed wasabi with the japanese mayonaise. But, even though, Tempura is still the restaurant that served the best tasting Kani Salad...next will be Sake San...Tempura Boy doesnt serve it that fancy. The tempura will have to be....hahah i dont know, they all taste the same for me. For the service, I think they need more people there, even though it's kind of full already. It took about 5 minutes for them to bring us two glasses of water and about 30 seconds later to bring the bill. Anyway, go there if there's not too much people.

2) Movie house at THE BLOCK - not that fancy. The place is not that intimate as well. I mean, I think there are better cinemas for the same price. The ticket sells for 151 pesos. Eastwood cinemas with the "reclining a bit" chairs has got to be one of the best. Podium is fancy. Greenbelt 3 has loveseats. Glorietta and greenbelt has taters selling the food and drinks (got to love the sour cream flavored popcorns) Oh just to clear things up, what I meant by not that intimate was that...the Cinema was huge. It was probably 10 times larger than Gateway cinemas.

3) It's getting harder and harder to concentrate here at my place. Especially with the wireless internet going on meaning, I get to spend some time surfing the net beside my bed and beside my study table. Actually, the laptop seats nicely between the two. Downloading 12Gigs worth of anime hehehe finished about 3Gigs already...man oh man, law of ueki here i come! but sad to say it's taking way too slow! Where are the seeders?!

4) TO compensate for my spending most of my time resting here at home, I a lot some of my time studying at the main library before I actually head home. =)

5) Time to study!

Maturity

[migrated from livejournal]


Slowly as the leaves fall to the ground, I am sure. I have matured. The number associated with age seems magnificent now.
With the current circumstance that we face, to say the least, I know I have matured. I may still be impulsive and tactless, but heck, who cares. I love those two aspects of mine.
I should start planning things out for myself. The future is always near, always out of reach till present comes. But the wheel of Fortune turns.

Open the gates and I shall enter. Welcome me with delight. For there in your company, I will sow the seeds of malice. Prepare the feast for glutton, spread the words of incontinence, embrace discord, salute the wrathful and sullen. I welcome ye who has ascended! Use me for your purpose.

Updates V

[migrated from livejournal]


Updates:
1) My brother arrived last sunday!
    Some things that happened during that day. Well for one thing, my mom and I had this deal or no deal experience...sort of. You see, when we ate our lunch at Kenny Rogers, the bill was 309 pesos...and coincidentally, when we were at the airport waiting terminal (At Jolibee) we ordered food and it cashed in at 309 pesos as well! hehehe...But that's not exactly the point of why I am telling you these stuff. First is if my mom or probably I join the game show, we would choose the number 12 for the sole reason that 3+9=12. Hahaha...But then the second point of why I am telling you these stuff: After eating at jolibee and my brother has already arrived...we ate at Pancake House! Shet! That's too much food for me that night!

2) Since my brother arrived, so many things have happened.
3) In the span of 3 days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
~ Monday: My brother has set up our sort of security camera.
~ Tuesday: My brother has set up the WiFi for our house. He already set up our PLDT myDSL connection to be "always connected" to the server and now it's connected to a router and then...our house now
has wireless internet!
~Wednesday: My brother has finished setting up the PC setup that he brought home.
What's with the setup?
a) Flat Screen monitor about 19 inch if you measure it diagonally.
b) A better CPU.
c) A way better keyboard
d) A way better optical mouse.
-------WAIT! I just realized...that all of them are ACER branded. Hahahah! Oh wait. 
e) I just noticed that he bought new CREATIVE speakers.
f) He also brought home his external hardrive...

I cant seem to decide right now if I would want to use my laptop more than I want to use this desktop....Astig!!!

With regards to other aspects of my life.
1) I've been listening to AIR SUPPLY quite a lot lately. Hahaha! Ever since I've downloaded it from Bittorent, I have been listening to no other artist 'cept them.
2) I really really really really need to put balance in my life. Hello acads? Knock knock. Well, balanced pa naman siya...it's just that siguro kulang lang ako sa vitamins.
3) Sumali kami nila Meiling, Chester, Virna and Randy plus Chrisitne sa Marketing Congress. Si Christine nag decide na ayaw niya officially sumali baka raw kasi di siya fully makapagcommit...hehehe...ano naman kaya ang magiging team name namin...tapos kelangan pa pala yung next na ipass....haay...
4) Masaya ang magiging mga kasama ko sa IRC. (narealize ko to nung interview...hehehe mabilis naman pala sila mapikasamahan...dati kasi parang may erg vs circuit pang centrism. Eh ngayon...I am slowly letting it go..Or maybe not that slow....)

ay may class pa pala ako ng 8:30. DI pa ako nakakaligo etc etc. hehehe GTG!
